Smartest president this millennium.

Here is a FACT that people on all political sides should agree on: Obama was the most intelligent president so far this millennium. Whether you support him or not, Biden is a bumbling idiot. We all know George W Bush was in the same category. And whether you like him or not, Trump has no idea what he is talking about. So whether you like him or not Obama is clearly the most intelligent president the USA has had so far this millennium. He's the only one that can give an intelligent speech that stays on point.

But not a Rhodes Scholar like Clinton, whom the right wing hated almost as much as Obama.

@dancingtongue

he was pretty moderate however, and had his share of friends across the aisle.

@MayorOfCrushtown He was moderate and like Biden, some of his biggest challenges were keeping the extremists of his party under check, particularly on the economy, which always made one wonder why the right wing hated him so much.

@dancingtongue Seems like Rush Limbaugh and other right wing personalities popped up when Clinton took office. Clinton was hated by the right from the start. I always assumed much of that was being butthurt over their guy not winning re-election. Ross Perot spoiled it for them. I always felt republicans were looking for something to nail Clinton on from the start. Eventually they caught him with Lewinsky, but that was the best they could do. Obama was hated because of race. Period. Maybe they weren't overtly racist, but they had issues with his mixed-race heritage, his father being a black Muslim, his name sounding too close to Osama. It made them uncomfortable, and thus biased their opinion. Obama was pretty middle-of-the road, and pissed off many on the left for not taking more radical positions.
